Hot on it’s heels is the tearjerking teen tale Dear Evan Hansen, whose composers — Benj Pasek and Justin Paul — picked up an Oscar for their lyrics to La La Land‘s “City of Stars.” It has 9 nominations, including best musical and one for lead actor (and Pitch Perfect star) Ben Platt.

Other best musical contenders include the musical stage adaptation of Groundhog Day and the 9/11 musical Come From Away — which tells the true-story of some of the thousands of people who were stranded in Newfoundland, Canada after traffic was grounded in the wake of the terrorist attacks.

Bette Midler snagged a lead actress in a musical nomination for her turn in Hello Dolly! — her first leading role in a Broadway musical ever.The revival is “looking swell” with 10 nominations including best revival of a musical — where it will compete with the now-closed Falsettos and the limited-run Miss Saigon.

The four plays up for best play — A Dolls House, Part 2, Indecent, Oslo and Sweat — are all written by American authors (Lucas Hnath, Paula Vogel, J.T. Rogers, and Lynn Nottage respectively). They’re each also making their Broadway playwriting debut this season. Nottage’s Sweat was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama earlier this year.

Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars scored big nominations in the play acting categories, including Cate Blanchett (The Present), Sally Field (The Glass Menagerie), Laura Linney (The Little Foxes) and Laurie Metcalf (A Doll’s House, Part 2) — who are all competing (alongside Oslo‘s Jennifer Ehle) for lead actress.

Cynthia Nixon, Kevin Kline, Chris Cooper and Danny DeVito all picked up nominations too — the latter for his Broadway debut in Arthur Miller’s The Price.

The revival of Cats, which returned to Broadway after a 15 year hiatus, also failed to claw up a nomination. Its original 1982 production won 7 Tonys including best musical.

At least one person can already start prepping his speech — James Earl Jones. The two-time Tony winner is one of the handful of people who will be given a special Tony this year. His honor will be for lifetime achievement in the theater.
